Nope. The “Paul” that has been running around for ever is actually “False Paul”. The real Paul died in a car wreck in 1969.

It ran just fine. I stupidly sold it just before I moved to a different state. Now I find myself searching both Ebay Motors and Autotrader trying to find one that is almost as cool.

Nothing to add for today but back in 2011 I bought a brand new 2007 Chevy Colorado from a dealership in Denver. I think it never sold because it was a two-wheel drive, stripped down (hand crank windows and vinyl floors) special.

Stay away from the QX60. I have the Nissan Pathfinder (same vehicle) and the CVT is absolute garbage. My wife, who knows next to nothing about cars. can’t wait to unload the dumb thing because the transmission sucks.

Anyone have any experience with these things in the snow? I know that electric cars are all about torque and I also know that torque is usually the poor driver’s downfall in the snow. Has anyone tried mixing the two?

For some reason this article has stuck with me. In response to the Liberty it was actually offered with two engines; you could get the boat anchor 3.7l or the other badge called out the sweet CRD.

I suddenly feel like John Davis lied to me all these years with his “Stomp, Stay, and Steer.” mantra. I suddenly feel the need to re-evaluate all aspects of my life.

Most people don’t realize that the first gen Mazda 6 came to us as a Sedan, a Wagon, and a Hatchback. All three versions could be had with the V-6 and the 5 speed stick. I always regretted passing on the vibrant blue hatchback with the beiege leather. That was until I found out that the V-6 and the 5 speed stick…

Sure, but how many Solstice Coupes were ever made?

NIght. I have to be on the road by 4:45am to get to work so in order to sleep in as late as possible I shower the night before.

The interior was crap and it only had the 4 cylinder mated to the 4 speed automatic, it also had vinyl flooring and the most uncomfortable seats ever fitted to a car but I miss it every day.

Just get it over with and call it the Canyonero.

Agree completely. I have had two Chrysler products over the years and dumped both of them due to transmission issues.

Not so much a petty story but...

Can’t. It’s hard to get the taste of “upside down on a car that no longer operates” out of my mouth.

Farmer here. I love the concept as we are always trying to find ways to be more “green”. My concern is that in modern farming I sometimes have to drive the tractor 10-20 miles from my maintenance shop to the next field. That doesn’t leave me a whole lot of energy to actually plow my 120 acres and then drive back.…

Yup. That was the first thing I checked. I parked it in the same place every night so if that had been an issue I would have had a swamp. If it had been burning it at the rate I was going through it the back bumper would have been sooty black.

Now I am curious. What year? Mine was a 2004 and the disappearing oil was only the last in a long line of issues I had with the car. The A/C wouldn’t cool anything, the passenger junction box shorted out because of the way they ran the A/C lines, the strut bushings squeeked and groaned horribly.

Agreed. I have moved to a less drastic clime and they do tend to close school for little to no reason. I was given hope for future generations when it snowed about a 1/2" last night and they didn’t even go to a 2 hour delay this morning.

Actually, that was my first clue that something was amiss. I change the oil every 3,500 miles. I was on a 1,200 mile long road trip, having changed the oil right before the trip. With about 200 miles left in the trip the Oil light came on. When I checked the dipstick it was bone dry. In 1,000 miles the car had…
